Responsibilities of the\u00a0Mother of the Bride<\/p>\n

The Primary responsibility of the Mother of the Bride is to see that the bride’s wishes are carried out the bride’s way.\u00a0 It will be your responsibility to help the bride plan her wedding with her tastes in mind\u2026not your’s, unless, it is the true desire of the bride to “let mom run things.”<\/p>\n

Here are your primary responsibilities:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Help the bride select her wedding attire.\u00a0Remember, this is not your wedding.\u00a0 If you find yourself talking the bride out of a gown she loves, you may be overreaching.<\/li>\n
  2. Help the bride and groom decide on a wedding budget.\u00a0 Settling money issues upfront is always best.\u00a0 A good clear budget will help everyone with their expectations.<\/li>\n
  3. In the event that the Mother of the Groom does not contact you, you will make the first contact.<\/li>\n
  4. See that the guest lists are put together.\u00a0The invitations must be ordered as soon as possible, and the guest list will be critical in making your invitation order.<\/li>\n
  5. Reservations for out-of-town guests, invited by the bride’s family, are the responsibility of the mother of the bride. It will be much more convenient if a block of rooms are reserved at a nearby hotel, which is near her home.<\/li>\n
  6. Choose your gown for the wedding day.\u00a0Immediately tell the Mother of the Groom the colors and style so that she may begin looking for a complimentary gown.\u00a0 Send a swatch of material to the Mother of Groom if possible.<\/li>\n
  7. See that instructions for the actual ceremony are given.\u00a0 This includes the seating schedule and the receiving line at reception, as well as any special touches the bride may choose to have at her wedding.<\/li>\n
  8. \u00a0The role as mother of the bride, in the ceremony, may include lighting the family candle on the altar, along with the mother of the groom.\u00a0 Family candles are lit after the candle lighters have left the altar area, and prior to the entrance of the wedding party.<\/li>\n
  9. Find a trusted friend or family member who is not in the wedding party to assist you throughout the wedding.\u00a0\u00a0You are the hostess for the entire event!\u00a0 Find someone who will help you with some of the details\u2026sometimes a professional is best.<\/li>\n
  10. Be familiar with the responsibilities of the Maid of Honor.<\/a>\u00a0 You may want to have a conversation with the Maid of Honor to coordinate and avoid stepping on each other’s toes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
